Especially Deeetroit basketball, when the opponents know they can stop us by sagging back into a zone and daring our guys to jack it up. That, or charge into a triple team for a turnover.

We might not be able to win in the playoffs with zone D, but it's been our downfall for years on the other end of the floor.

Go figure.

And that what pisses me off! I hate when we get beat by team that play that sucky zone crap. Luckily, we have Rodney Stuckey and Amir Johnson that makes team break up that zone sh**. Rodney sees the holes in it and Amir can get up the floor and get to in his "sweet spot" (under the basket).

I think there is a diffence between flips we missed shots... the same shots we took 3 years ago in game one of preseason as we do in game 6 of the ECF, and having a bad shooting night because were running our butts off getting in game shape.

We were so predictable it was easy to defend us.... read an article this morning talking about just that. how were trying to focus on one thing one quarter and going to another in the next quarter keep shaking it up so the defence can't get comfy.

If we do that, then i'll be happy....

every team has a night they can't throw it in the ocean... but if they are good shots that we want, and not bad shots the defense wants us to take.... i'll be happy.

Every post attempt led to an immediate double/triple team since, literally, the help guy was already standing there sagging off his man.

I know you cats were too busy being upset, but I made references to it repeatedly in chat.

They packed the paint on the weakside, but stayed tight on the strongside if I recall. I vividly remember the announcers remarking on KG following Sheed out to the 3 line on screen/pops allowing Billups to score.
